3 Abstract Recent R&D and economic data across industries once again confirm the crucial role of innovation on long-term economic productivity and growth. IP-intensive industries outperformed non-ip intensive industries across key economic measures. Workers in innovative industries disproportionately create more economic value and earn higher wages than their counterparts in other manufacturing industries. IP-intensive industries cut less jobs during the economic downturn and added more jobs during the economic recovery than their counterparts non-ip-intensive industries. Given intellectual property (IP) rights and protections foster innovation, public policies should focus on ensuring robust IP rights and protections.

4 Highlights of the Report Innovative industries in the United States owe much of their success to economic returns resulting from their high levels of research and development (R&D) or intellectual capital investment. Intellectual property (IP)-intensive manufacturing industries are defined in our research as those industries that have a higher rate of R&D investment per employee than the average R&D per employee across all manufacturing industries. Our research findings show that IP-intensive manufacturing industries have outperformed non- IP-intensive manufacturing industries in all key economic measures since the turn of the century. The outperformance of the IP-intensive industries during economic downturns reflects the sustainability of these industries. IP-intensive manufacturing industries invest heavily to research and develop new products and services as well as invest in incremental advances by improving or transforming existing products. With higher demand for their products and services and increased revenues based on the high value of these products and services, these IP-intensive companies are able to build new facilities and hire additional high-wage workers in both science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and non-stem fields. Workers in IP-intensive manufacturing industries in turn are more productive and contribute higher economic value to the U.S. economy compared to workers in non-ip intensive industries. We use the latest official data to measure innovation and to assess the economic impacts and returns of R&D investment of manufacturing industries in the United States. Our dataset covers detailed R&D data from 2000 to 2013 published by the National Science Foundation and Census economic data from 2000 to We found that industries that spent more on R&D per worker outperform their counterparts in all aspects. R&D investment creates innovative products that are sold at home and abroad. With higher demand, companies hire more workers. Furthermore, workers in high R&D industries are more productive. To attract and to keep productive workers, innovative industries pay their employees higher wages than their counterparts. Highlights of the economic performance of IP-intensive manufacturing industries during the period are (Table 1 and Figure 1): Higher R&D investment. IP-intensive manufacturing industries invest 11.5 times more R&D per employee than non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries ($44,799 compared to $3,887 per employee annually). Higher job creation. IP-intensive manufacturing industries added more jobs during the most recent economic recovery period. Higher wages. IP-intensive manufacturing industries pay 45.7% higher wages than non-ipintensive manufacturing industries (approximately $67,378 compared to $46,248 per employee annually). Higher sales. While IP-intensive manufacturing industries employ approximately 28% of American manufacturing workers, they account for over 35% of gross output (total sales) of manufacturing industries. Gross output per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries is 1.4 times that of their counterparts in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries (approximately $585,391 compared to $425,566 per employee annually). Higher productivity. Net economic contribution (gross sales minus intermediate products or value added) per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries is also 1.7 times that of their 1

5 $ per Employee counterparts in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries ($276,316 compared to $166,810 per employee annually). Higher exports. Annual exports per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries are 2.6 times greater than exports per employee in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries ($164,594 compared to $64,325 per employee annually). R&D investment produces innovative products to sell at home and abroad and has positive economic returns in all key economic measures. Figure 1 below illustrates the economic outperformance of IPintensive manufacturing industries compared to other non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. During the period between 2008 and 2015, gross output (total sales), value-added (net economic contribution), exports, and wages per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries were all higher than that of other non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. Overall, industries that invest more on R&D per employee have higher economic returns and contribute more to the U.S. economy. Figure 1.

6 IP-intensive Manufacturing Industries: Driving U.S. Economic Growth INTRODUCTION Continued innovation is imperative for long-term sustainable economic growth. The research and development (R&D) process requires substantial time, effort, and resources. R&D investment enables companies to research and develop new or improved products, services, and processes that advance quality of life around the world and enable economies to grow. With advanced knowledge, innovative companies have comparative advantages to compete domestically and globally. Much of the post-world War II economic growth in the United States can be explained by increases in productivity due to technological advancement, increases in knowledge, and increased investment in human capital and R&D. 1 Empirical studies have found evidence to support the linkage between innovation and economic growth. R&D activities help innovative companies and industries grow, which leads to employment and economic growth across the country. Indeed, innovative industries support over 57.6 million American jobs, 20 million directly and another 37.6 million indirectly through robust supply chain activities. Workers in innovative industries are highly productive, reflecting the high-skilled labor required and relative capital intensity of innovative work. 2 Over the past fifty years, annual R&D investment in the United States has fluctuated with gross domestic product (GDP) growth, with significant drops during the two most recent recessions in 2000 and Approximately twothirds of private R&D investment is spent on human capital in the form of salaries and wages, benefits, stock-based compensation, and temporary staffing, while the remaining one-third is spent on equipment, materials and supplies, lease and rental payments, and depreciation. 3 Figure 2 below tracks annual growth rates of aggregate R&D investment, GDP, and employment, in the United States since In July 2013, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce took a historic step to recognize private and public R&D investment as tangible assets. The BEA now records R&D investment figures in a category called intellectual property products within nonresidential gross investment. The new method recognizes R&D as assets used in the production process over a given time period. The revision has significant implications domestically as well as internationally. R&D activities now are recognized in a more tangible form in the national income accounts with market values that reflect the potential for generation of future income (Figure 6).

Evidence of the positive correlation between innovation and economic growth can be seen in economies around the world. Research has shown that countries with higher levels of patenting activity, meaning those that file a higher number of patents which is an indicator of innovation, tend to have higher economic growth rates, and that growth accelerates over time as patenting levels increase. Researchers measuring innovation across 49 developed and developing economies find a recurrent micro-level relationship between expenditures in R&D and innovation output measured by patents granted. 4 The European Patent Office found that innovative industries accounted for more than 56 million jobs, which translates to 26% of total employment in the European Union (EU). These jobs support a network of suppliers and service industry jobs that total another 20 million jobs. In total, innovative industries directly and indirectly support 76.6 million jobs, or more than 35% of total employment in the EU. These jobs pay more than 40% higher wages than non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. 5 The success and growth of developed and developing economies hinges on the protection of proprietary research, development processes, and safeguards to the innovative ecosystem. This report uses the official R&D and economic data to measure the innovation and to assess the economic impacts of R&D investments in U.S. manufacturing sectors. We use National Science Foundation s R&D data ( ) and Census s economic data ( ) of manufacturing industries.. We use R&D investments as a proxy to measure the innovative intensity across industries and R&D investment per employee to identify IP-intensive (which is defined as R&D per employee above the manufacturing 4 Bosch, Mariano, Daniel Lederman, and William Maloney Patenting and Research and Development: A Global View.

8 average) and non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. The matrix of economic performance includes employment, wages, outputs/sales, value-added/economic contributions, and exports. The data time frame covers both economic upturn and downturn periods. METHODOLOGY Innovation can be measured by an input matrix, an output matrix, or a combination of input and output matrices. The input matrix, leading with R&D investment, provides the level of effort needed to produce innovation while the output matrix measures the outcomes of innovation. Depending on the type of innovation, the input and output matrices have their advantages and disadvantages as proxies of innovation. Three tangible IP outputs that are commonly used and recognized legally are patents, trademarks, and copyrights. The economic value of IP outputs depends heavily on the value of products and services that were created by the innovation process. Measuring innovation by its inputs has several advantages. R&D investments are tangible and direct inputs to produce IP. Since R&D investments are recorded in terms of expenditures, they are widely used to measure the intensity of IP across industries and countries. In fact, empirical evidence shows that R&D investment is a reliable indicator of innovative capacity and is positively correlated with all measures of innovation outputs. 6 Studies also show that R&D spending is highly correlated with the number of patents in both large and small firms. 7 Evidence shows previous R&D expenditures affect subsequent R&D inputs of companies in the high-tech industries. Furthermore, successful R&D projects at previous Definitions and Data Sources R&D: Research and development expenses of a manufacturing sector or subsector used in the production of intellectual property published by the National Science Foundation. Employment: Total number of employees in a manufacturing sector or subsector published by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Consequently, R&D activities positively affect innovative performance of a company, which leads to new products. 8 Measuring IP-Intensity across U.S. Manufacturing Industries We follow the methodology developed in our previous reports to identify IP-intensive manufacturing industries and to quantify the economic benefits of innovation to the U.S. economy. 9 We use R&D 6 Mairesse, Jacques and Pierre Mohnen The Importance of R&D for Innovation: A Reassessment Using French Survey Data.

9 investment as an indicator to measure the level of innovation and R&D per employee to measure the IP intensity across manufacturing industries. We define IP-intensive manufacturing industries are those industries that have a higher R&D investment per employee than the average R&D per employee in all manufacturing sectors. Similarly, non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries are those industries that have R&D per employee below the average manufacturing sector level. We obtain annual detailed R&D data by industry from 2000 to 2013 by industry (2-, 3-, and 4-digit NAICS) published by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and annual economic data from 2000 to 2015 by industry published by the U.S. Census Bureau. The annual 2014 R&D industry data is only available at the aggregated level but not at the industry level. To be consistent with other economic performance per employee (i.e., output, value added, wage, and exports), we use the employment data published by the U.S. Census Bureau to calculate the R&D per employee by manufacturing industry. Note that the Census Bureau publishes employment data by industry at the establishment level and therefore is expected to be lower than the employment data at the company level compiled by the NSF. To assess the robustness of our IP classifications, we also use the employment number at the company level published by the NSF to calculate the R&D per employee. Although the level of R&D investment per employee is different, the IPindustry classification remains unchanged. We categorize IP-intensity and non-ip-intensity industries by comparing R&D per employee of each subsector to the manufacturing average. Among 21 subsectors (3-digit NAICS) that make up the U.S. manufacturing sectors (2-digit NAICS), four manufacturing subsectors (chemical products, computer and electronic products, transportation equipment, and medical equipment) had higher R&D investment than the manufacturing sector average throughout the entire period between 2000 and R&D per employee in the petroleum and coal products manufacturing subsector (NAICS 324) however was higher than the manufacturing sector average during 2000 and 2007 but then dropped below the manufacturing sector average since As a result, IP-intensive industries in our analysis include five manufacturing subsectors (petroleum and oil products, chemical products, computer and electronic products, transportation equipment, and medical equipment) during 2000 to 2007 but only four manufacturing subsectors (chemical products, computer and electronic products, transportation equipment, and medical equipment) during 2008 to We further calculate R&D investment per employee of disaggregated industries (4-digit NAICS) within the three largest manufacturing subsectors (3-digit NAICS) by R&D investment which are also IP-intensive industries. R&D investment per employee of the largest industry (4-digit NAICS) within each of the three IPintensive subsectors (chemical products, computer and electronic products, and transportation equipment) is also higher than the manufacturing sector level, reflecting its IP-intensity. Annual R&D investment of U.S. manufacturing sectors increased more than 155% from $6,870 per employee in 2000 to $17,583 per employee in 2013, averaging $11,844 per employee. During this period, R&D per employee of IP-intensive industries was about twelve times R&D per employee of non-ipintensive industries. As shown in Figure 3 below, the three industries (4-digit NAICS) with the highest 9 Pham, Nam The Impact of Innovation and the Role of Intellectual Property Rights on U.S. Productivity, Competitiveness, Jobs, Wages, and Exports. ndp analytics; Pham, Nam IP-Intensive Manufacturing Industries: Driving U.S. Economic Growth. ndp analytics. 10 NAICS refers to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The system uses the term sector for 2-digit NAICS, subsector for 3-digit, and 4-digit for industry. 6

Note that other sections in this report use the term industry and subsector interchangeably. Figure 3.

R&D investments of the U.S. manufacturing sectors increased from 2.7% of manufacturing sales in 2000 to 3.4% in 2013, averaging 3.1% from 2000 to During this period, IP-intensive industries invested about 6.4% of its sales on R&D compared to 0.9% in the non-ip-intensive industries. Pharmaceuticals companies invested an average of over $35 billion a year, the equivalent of 20% of their sales, on R&D to discover new drugs (Figure 4). 7

Our economic dataset covers the period from 2000 to 2015, which includes economic upturn and downturn periods. We calculate output, value added, wage, and export per employee in order to compare the economic performance across IP-intensive and non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. Our previous reports analyzed the economic performance of innovation and intellectual properties prior to 2008 when the petroleum and oil products manufacturing industry was one of the IP-intensive industries. This report updates the R&D per employee and reclassifies the petroleum and oil products manufacturing industry from The analysis therefore focuses on the economic performance from 2008 to the current time. 8

12 ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PRODUCTS ON U.S. MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES IP-intensive manufacturing industries consistently outperform non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries IP-intensive manufacturing industries outperformed non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries in all key economic measures. IP-intensive industries invest heavily in R&D to produce and improve their products and services. Adopting new technology from their R&D activities, these U.S. companies create innovative products and services at home to offer to consumers both domestically and internationally. With higher demand for their products and services and rising revenues, these companies are able to hire additional workers and pay wage premiums to attract talent. Workers in IP-intensive manufacturing industries are shown to have higher economic contributions to the U.S. economy. Key economic measurements are summarized in Table 1 below along with the IP-intensive multiple showing the factor by which IP-intensive industries exceeds non-ip intensive industries across each key measurement. Table 1.

Measuring R&D Investment Expenditures to produce intellectual property have become important and significant enough to be a separate item on the national accounts. After launching R&D satellite accounts to explore investment in R&D and its larger economic effects, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in 2013 expanded its coverage of intellectual property products in the measurement of U.S. national accounts. The BEA has been working in conjunction with the National Science Foundation to measure innovative activity and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to construct a deflator for R&D to estimate real investment in R&D. Starting July 31, 2013, the BEA recorded expenditures of R&D, software, entertainment, literacy, and artistic originals as 9

13 fixed investment in the national accounts. The BEA estimates that intellectual property expenditures accounted for one-third of nonresidential fixed investment in % of R&D Investment in the U.S. during was in IP-Intensive Industries During the period , R&D investment in U.S. manufacturing sectors averaged $177.8 billion per year. The four IP-intensive subsectors accounted for over 82% of total R&D investment while a combined R&D investment of all other non-ip-intensive industries was less than 18%. At the 3-digit NAICS level, the chemical manufacturing and the computer and electronic manufacturing subsectors accounted for approximately 64% of total R&D investment. At the 4-digit NAICS level, the pharmaceutical industry of the chemical subsector had the highest share (27.0%) of total R&D investment followed by the semiconductor industry of the computer and electronic subsector (13.6%) as shown in Figure 5.

14 industries, $145.9 billion a year compared to 31.8 billion a year. Recognizing the crucial role of innovation on long-term growth, several non-ip-intensive industries such as food and beverage and plastic and rubber industries have increased their investment on R&D by about 15% a year since 2008 (Table 2).

R&D investment per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries averaged more than 11.5 times that of non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries during We calculate R&D investment per employee to estimate and to compare the IP-intensity across manufacturing industries. During the period between 2008 and 2013, annual R&D investment in manufacturing sectors averaged $15,520 per employee. Annual R&D investment per employee in IPintensive manufacturing industries was more than 11.5 times that of non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries, $44,799 compared to $3,887. The pharmaceutical manufacturing industry invested $203,085 per employee, the highest level among all manufacturing industries. In contrast, the wood product manufacturing industry spent only $850 per employee during the same period (Table 3). 11

The stock of IP assets of IP-intensive manufacturing industries accounted for 81% of all U.S. manufacturing industries In 2013, the Bureau of Economic Analysis began treating R&D expenditures as fixed investment and recorded it in a new investment category as intellectual property products, also known as IP assets. While annual R&D investment measures the annual flows of R&D investment (i.e., new R&D investment each year), the stock of R&D investment is the total accumulated R&D assets at a point in time. The stock of R&D assets (assets with a useful life greater than a year), are used repeatedly in the production process of other goods and services. The stock of assets is typically used in measuring rates of return on R&D and in analyzing multifactor productivity BEA NIPA Handbook: Concepts and Methods of the U.S. National Income and Product Accounts, Chapter 6: Private Fixed Investment. 12

16 U.S. manufacturing industries accumulated over $1.2 trillion IP assets by the end of 2015, an increase from $867.9 billion in As of 2015, the stock of IP assets of the IP-intensive industries ($999.2 billion) accounted for 81% of the total stock of IP assets of all U.S. manufacturing industries (Figure 6). Furthermore, the stock of IP assets of the IP-intensive industries grew faster than non-ip-intensive industries, 43.9% compared to 34.0%, during Figure 6.

Gross output per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries was 1.4 times that of non-ipintensive manufacturing industries during During , gross output of IP-intensive manufacturing industries averaged $585,391 per employee per year compared to $425,566 per employee in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. With one exception of an extremely high sales per employee figure in the petroleum and coal manufacturing industry (nearly $7.2 million per year), the chemical manufacturing industry including pharmaceuticals has the highest gross output per employee in the U.S. manufacturing sectors ($992,513 per person per year) (Table 4). R&D investment is the crucial element for company innovation. The U.S. manufacturing sectors invested an average 3.4% of their gross output in R&D during R&D investment accounted for 7.9% of their gross output per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries while a mere 0.9% per employee in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. The pharmaceutical and medicine industry has the highest R&D investment intensity across U.S. manufacturing sectors, accounting for 25.4% of their gross output per employee (Table 4). 14

Over 28% of manufacturing jobs, or 3.3 million jobs, are employed in IP-intensive manufacturing industries U.S. manufacturing sectors employ nearly 11.5 million persons across all industries. Over 28% of manufacturing jobs, or 3.3 million jobs, are employed in IP-intensive manufacturing industries. The allocation of jobs in the IP-intensive manufacturing industries is: 11.7% in the transportation equipment subsector (including the aerospace industry), 7.7% the computer and electronics subsector (including the semiconductor industry), 6.5% in the chemical subsector (including the pharmaceutical industry), and 2.5% in the medical equipment industry. For industry comparison purposes, this report uses employment data published by the Census Bureau that is based on establishments. As discussed earlier, the employment numbers of establishments are substantially lower than the employment numbers of the whole company. 18

22 After a decade of declines, jobs are added to IP-intensive manufacturing industries After a decade of job declines, U.S. manufacturing sectors started adding new jobs in the summer of From 2000 to 2010, U.S. manufacturing sectors lost more than 5.6 million jobs and over one-third of total manufacturing jobs. Manufacturing jobs in non-ip-intensive industries such as textile, furniture, electrical equipment, wood products, and paper products were hit hardest. IP-intensive manufacturing industries also suffered job losses, although with a smaller effect. Since 2010, 742,663 jobs have been added to the U.S. manufacturing sectors. During , jobs in IP-intensive industries increased by 7.2%, compared to 6.7% job growth in the non-ip-intensive industries. Wages of workers in IP-intensive manufacturing industries are more than 45% higher than those in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries Workers in IP-intensive manufacturing industries earn higher wages than their counterparts in non-ipintensive manufacturing industries. During , American manufacturing workers made an average $52,263 per year. Among them, workers in IP-intensive manufacturing industries made $67,378 per year. Their annual wages were over 45% higher than wages of workers in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. IP-intensive manufacturing industries with the highest wages were pharmaceutical and medicine industry ($86,584 per employee) and aerospace industry ($81,152 per employee). In contrast, the textile and wood product industries had the lowest pay, $32,064 and $36,016 per employee per year, respectively (Table 8). R&D investment is positively correlated with wages. During , R&D investment averaged 30.4% of wages in the U.S. manufacturing sectors. R&D investment was more than 68% of total wages paid in IPintensive manufacturing industries, led by 243.0% of wages paid in the pharmaceutical and medicine industry. During the same period, R&D investment was only 8.6% of total wages paid in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries and merely 2.5% of total wages paid in the wood products industry (Table 7). 19

IP-intensive manufacturing industries accounted for more than half of total manufacturing exports between 2008 and 2015 Across U.S. manufacturing sectors, more than $1 trillion in goods and services was exported a year between 2008 and IP-intensive manufacturing industries accounted for more than half of total manufacturing exports. The top exporters across IP-intensive industries were transportation equipment manufacturing (20%) including the aerospace industry, chemical manufacturing including the pharmaceutical industry (16.7%), computer and electronic manufacturing including the semiconductor industry (11.6%), and medical equipment manufacturing (2.2%). Export sales in IP-intensive manufacturing industries have continued to rise over the years. Exports averaged $164,594 per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries during , 2.6 times the average $64,325 per employee in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries (Figure 10). 20

24 Figure 10. Annual Average Exports per Employee in IP- and Non-IP-Intensive Industries, Exports per employee in IP-intensive manufacturing industries were 2.6 times than that in the non-ipintensive industries $200,000 $180,000 $160,000 $143,146 $158,902 $171,526 $176,053 $178,382 $182,455 $177,033 $140,000 $129,257 $120,000 $100,000 $80,000 $60,000 $50,255 $45,012 $59,368 $72,171 $75,005 $75,246 $73,766 $63,778 $40,000 $20,000 $ IP-intensive Non-IP-intensive Sources: U.S. Census Bureau: County Business Patterns and Economic Census; U.S. International Trade Commission: DataWeb. CONCLUSION Recent R&D and economic data confirm the significant contributions of IP-intensive industries to the U.S. economy. IP-intensive manufacturing industries consistently outperform non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries in all key economic measures. Both gross output per employee and net value of economic contribution per employee in the IP-intensive manufacturing industries was 1.5 times that of non-ipintensive manufacturing industries. Workers in IP-intensive manufacturing industries earn approximately 45% higher wages than their counterparts in non-ip-intensive manufacturing industries. After a decade of job losses, U.S. manufacturing sectors started adding new jobs in the summer of While non-ipintensive industries cut more jobs during the economic downturn, IP-intensive industries added more jobs during the economic recovery. By the end of 2015, IP-intensive industries have already added 7.2% of its 2010 job level while non-ip-intensive industries added 6.7% of its 2010 job level. Recognizing the important role of innovation on long-term sustainable growth, a number of non-ip-intensive industries have increased their allocation of resources on R&D investment in the past several years. These findings reinforce the importance of ensuring public policies continue to support robust IP rights and protections to foster innovation and the economic contributions resulting from IP-intensive industries. 21
